This protein plays an important role in regulating vitamin E levels in the body by transporting vitamin E between membrane vesicles and facilitating the secretion of vitamin E from hepatocytes to circulating lipoproteins. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary vitamin E deficiency (ataxia with vitamin E deficiency, AVED) and retinitis pigmentosa. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]. * **UniProt Summary**: Binds alpha-tocopherol, enhances its transfer between separate membranes, and stimulates its release from liver cells (PubMed:7887897). Binds both phosphatidylinol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinol 4,5-bisphosphate; the resulting conformation change is important for the release of the bound alpha-tocopherol (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7887897}. |CRAL TRIO N| |CRAL TRIO| |lipid transfer activity| |negative regulation of establishment of blood-brain barrier| |vitamin E binding| |vitamin E metabolic process| |regulation of establishment of blood-brain barrier| |intermembrane lipid transfer| |phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding| |fat-soluble vitamin metabolic process| |vitamin transport| |response to pH| |intracellular pH reduction| |pH reduction| |phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding| |regulation of intracellular pH| |embryonic placenta development| |regulation of cellular pH| |regulation of pH| |cellular monovalent inorganic cation homeostasis| |vitamin metabolic process| |late endosome| |monovalent inorganic cation homeostasis| |placenta development| |response to nutrient| |lipid transport| |lipid localization| |negative regulation of cell development| |in utero embryonic development| |reproductive structure development| |reproductive system development| |embryonic organ development| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |response to nutrient levels| |response to toxic substance| |response to extracellular stimulus| |cellular cation homeostasis| |chordate embryonic development| |cellular ion homeostasis| |embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |cation homeostasis| |negative regulation of cell differentiation| |inorganic ion homeostasis| |cellular chemical homeostasis| |ion homeostasis| |membrane organization| |cellular homeostasis| |regulation of cell development| |negative regulation of developmental process| |embryo development| |negative regulation of cell death| |chemical homeostasis| |response to abiotic stimulus| |lipid metabolic process| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |homeostatic process| |regulation of cell death| |small molecule metabolic process| |regulation of cell differentiation| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
